The Mumbai Peace March

On the 3rd Day of December 2008, Mumbaikars arranged a Peace March at the Gateway of India.

I was part of the Peace March.

I wanted to be a part of the epitome of Oneness…Oneness that we are all a part of this infinite Universe…a Universe that we all manifest.

In the middle of the huge crowd, I felt one.

The crowd, the people, the voices, the slogans all of them became part of me and were in me.

I could hear every slogan.

I could feel every angst.

I could see every expression.

I could taste all the bitterness.

I could smell the blood.

There were slogans of peace, the angst of being betrayed, the expression of hatred, the bitterness of memories, and blood on our hands.

A Nation was being condemned, Humans were being mocked.

A war was being called for as a first step towards peace.

A storm surged within me. I took a step down from oneness to experience polarity within me, duality within oneness.

At polarity I could see the difference between the Universe and me.

I started talking to myself.

Universe: What is that you have come here for? Ask and you shall receive.

Me: I want peace. I want to live in as safe environment without fear. I want justice.

Universe:

I am here to give you what you want. But I am confused. You want peace… you want war too?

Me: Yes...To teach them a lesson. That we are not weak and will not let any one walk over us. No one has the right to come and take innocent lives. This has been going on for decades and we cannot take this anymore. There is no more room for negotiation.

Universe: So you are sure this is what you want. But remember, in this whole act if even one innocent life is taken there will be no difference between you and them.

Me: How can there be no difference? We are doing this for our protection, to teach them a lesson so that we can have peace. Innocent lives may be lost and we can’t help it. It’s a part of it all.

Universe: That’s what they say too….. An act is an act. Every reason for an act can be given a face…a right one or a wrong one. What could be a right reason in their perspective can be wrong in yours and what can be right in your perspective can be wrong in theirs. At the end of the day it is just a play of perceptions, the act being the same.

Me: Yeah… I know that this is all a play of perceptions. But what is this…hitting us from the back like cowards. It is time we come face to face for a final battle…all for peace.

Universe: Then this should not be called a “peace march” but a “march for war – in hope of peace”. We call this a peace march but want war? This is exactly the reason why we are mocking our politicians today (for promising one thing and delivering another). We are no different from them. This duality exists in humanity. Unless we fix this as humans there will we be war, hatred and suffering.

We need to be in alignment with peace within ourselves to manifest peace in our environment.

Peace stems from love.

Me: So what do you mean to say? Do nothing, just sit and chill….let them keep hitting us…let them keep screwing up….DO NOTHING!!!?

Universe: There are two ways…you choose…

The first option is…Go for War…Destroy everything….No one is spared…Take out Hatred and terrorism from the root…Remove each inch of corruption. Every single person who has even a drop of hatred towards any other person for whatever reason will be destroyed.

The world post this will have no evils.

You hate you die. You have greed you die. You have pride you die. You carry a grudge you die.

Every hand that was ready to cast a stone on Mary Magdalene will be destroyed by my trident.

An apocalypse shall happen and I will destroy myself and start afresh.

No one will carry anything from the past.

The second option is that you acknowledge that you a part of the system. You are as responsible for making the system the way you see the system today. Realize that when we curse or hate or carry a grudge we are not doing it to anyone else but us.

It is like we sitting in our car/taxi and cursing about being in a traffic jam, choosing to be unaware of the fact that we are adding to the traffic and hence cursing ourselves.

Stop cursing and whining and ask what have I done to earn this hatred. How I can I earn love? Then go back and resolve the karmic imbalances.

Be the change that you expect to see in the Universe.

This will lead to your own emotional catharsis, which may cause emotional pain.

An apocalypse shall happen. We will face all our past demons and deeds that kept chasing us and they will be destroyed forever.

Either which ways an apocalypse is necessary for mass consciousness to awaken. You can choose the path…internal or external.

Your wish is my command.

I was speechless. Then my Goddess spoke and I stepped back into oneness…
